Honoring the Hands and Hearts of Caregiving

National CNA Week, celebrated annually in June, is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the dedicated Certified Nursing Assistants who provide compassionate care and support to our elders each day. CNAs comprise the majority of our workforce, and they help make A.G. Rhodes a special place to live and work.

Thank you to all of our CNAs for everything you do!

That Family Feel

Employee Spotlight: Makia Dunson, CNA, A.G. Rhodes Atlanta

Just before the interview for this employee spotlight, Makia was helping one of the elders at A.G. Rhodes Atlanta.

“I was rolling her hair,” she said.

It’s a simple moment, but one that reflects the way Makia approaches her work as a CNA. For her, caregiving goes beyond meeting physical needs. It’s about building relationships and offering companionship.

Living Authentically:
A Pride Month Story

Celebrating Pride Month with Arthur White

At A.G. Rhodes, every team member brings a unique story. This Pride Month, we are honored to share one rooted in authenticity, resilience, and love.

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Arthur White, LPN, Education & Wellness Manager at A.G. Rhodes DeKalb, has spent his life living openly, not because it was always easy, but because he learned early on the importance of accepting himself.

What's New in Therapy & Rehabilitation

A.G. Rhodes is continuing to enhance its therapy and rehabilitation services with the addition of respiratory therapy at our Atlanta and Cobb communities, with the service expected to launch soon at our DeKalb community. This specialized service supports residents with respiratory conditions and complements the comprehensive care already available across our communities.

And here's something many people don't know: A.G. Rhodes also offers outpatient therapy services. Community members can receive services from our experienced, in-house therapists in our rehabilitation gyms.

Learn more by checking out our new outpatient therapy flyer.

Sharing Stories That Matter

A.G. Rhodes was honored with the 2026 Social Media Star Award at the Georgia Health Care Association/Georgia Center for Assisted Living Summer Convention.

The award recognizes excellence in social media through photos, videos and resident and employee stories. Thank you to our residents, families, staff, volunteers and supporters who help bring these stories to life.

" I had an emergency stay at A.G. Rhodes [DeKalb] Wesley Woods for two weeks. Everyone was extremely nice. The rooms were adequate, but nice for a facility. The nurses were TOP rated and other staff went out of their way to show love and make you feel welcome. I would definitely recommend this place for a short stay to rehab. It is amazing what these people accomplish."
